Exposing AI Bias: 10 Powerful Ways to Fight Algorithmic Discrimination

Exposing AI Bias: 10 Powerful Ways to Fight Algorithmic Discrimination

Understanding Algorithmic Bias Algorithmic bias refers to systematic errors or prejudices in AI systems that result in unfair outcomes. Despite the common myth that algorithms are neutral and objective, they are in fact products of human choices at every step – from the data used to train them to the definition of “success” they optimize. As data scientist Cathy O’Neil famously put it, “Algorithms are opinions embedded in code”. In other words, if an AI is fed historical data that reflects societal biases, or if its design prioritizes certain metrics over fairness, the algorithm can end up perpetuating and even

Don’t Fly Your Drone in Malta Before Reading This (2025 Guide to Drone Laws)

Key Facts (Quick Summary) Recreational vs. Commercial Drone Use Malta does not enact two completely separate sets of laws for “hobby” versus “business” drone flights – the same EU-based rules apply to both, focused on the risk and category of operation rather than the pilot’s intent drone-made.com. That said, in practice there are stricter expectations and limitations on how and where you can fly for fun versus for work.

A Surprise Alliance to Revive an Icon Nvidia’s $5 billion wager on Intel marks a stunning alliance between longtime rivals. Nvidia – now the world’s most valuable chip company – built its fortune on graphics processors and AI accelerators, largely independent of Intel, the historic king of PC and server CPUs.
